I don't think I'll ever be able to sell my cars :/ I bought the 180 for £700 and have replaced the plenum, given it a service and want £100 less than I paid for it! lol

The problem is they are just dropping in value, Im struggling to get £200.00 for the engines now !

So it just has a knock on effect.

Why not look at my mark 2 I have for sale !

I'll be keeping a look out nearer June/July when I've finished uni and in a position to buy, need to keep my head down with studies and be careful with money until then!

After some thought I have decided to keep the 180 now. She was destined to be scrapped and I don't have the heart. Instead I will spend a little bit of money on the essentials to start with (catch tank, brand new VIS motors, 2 new tyres, regas aircon, new spark plugs, induction kit as the existing panel filter is shot), whilst keeping an eye out for a used cat back and decat. Keep her until she gives up (should be a while yet!), then perhaps look at a mark 2 and transfer the good bits/mods.

I think I'm making the right decision! 120 is still for sale, I don't need 2 of these!

Sounds like a wise decision. Parts mentioned no different to any other car needing TLC tbh. Like you said some parts can be swapped over when the time comes. Get the 120 sold and you might be able to put it towards the mk2? What's it going for as it stands?

£1000, that's with the coolant issue fixed. If it's expensive I'll discount the £1000 by whatever the quote I got is. The car is driveable, it's just loosing coolant!
